Help My Fish Keep Disappearing

[mandy1169]

i think i know the answer to my question, but would like it confirming please, i have recently upgraded to a 4 foot tank because my black ghost knife fish was getting too big, i got told when i bought the knife fish it didn't interfer with any of my other fish. i have or should i say had 6 guppys (now got 3) head and tail tetra's, black widow tetra's , platy's and neons, and a small plec (new to the tank), i've just had to retrieve a body out of my tank (although they normally just disappear), do ghost knife fish munch on my other fish, i have started trying to feed the ghost knife individually, (blood worm straight into its hiding place) as i think the other fish get the food quicker, would this elevate my problem of missing fish, (trying to feed it separate) it's now about 6-7 inches, i really like this fish and have had it quite a while and would try any solutions, but if it's eating my other fish i may have to donate it back to the shop or my friend, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also sorry for going on but the tank i bought is one of the fluval roma's that drip condensation from the lid is it ok to remove the lid top and seal it again, sorry new to tanks of this size only had smaller ones before, thanks for taking the time to read all this.

The link I've included says black ghost knife fish aren't to be trusted with fish that fit into their mouth. . .

I was under the impression that many fish will eat ANY and EVERY fish that they can get away with eating.

Sorry about your guppies.

hi thanks for your concern, at the moment i'm sort of hand feeding my ghost knife, but unsure how much i should be feeding it, i think the other fish are so greedy when i feed them they get it all when my ghost is hiding, i love my guppies and i love my ghost but i think i need to make choices if the hand feeding doesn't work out, cheers mandy
